Rizzoli & Isles - 99
Jane opens her door to Casey, he gives her a peck on the cheek as he walks past, "So did Maura help you sort things out?" No 'Hi' or 'How are you' just that.
"Um, yeah, hi." It takes Jane a minute to get over casey's brash entrance. "yeah, sorry, we talked a few things out then had takeaway and a movie."
"Are you going to tell me what you worked out?" Casey was exasperated already, he thought it was like getting blood from a stone, and it came through in his tone.
"Give me a chance Casey, you just walked through the god damn door!"
"Sorry Jane it's just since I asked you, you've not really seemed excited."
Asked Jane thought, didn't sound much like a question to me.
"Yeah, it just took me by surprise thats all." Jane turned towards the kitchen, "You wanna drink?"
"Not just now, I've gotta head over to the centre in a bit." Casey paused briefly, "So?" he prompted.
"So," Jane wasn't sure how to put this, "You said you had 100 days," "99 now" he interjected. "Yeah 99, anyways I've never really considered marriage and stuff and you did kinda spring this on me and it'll be a big change for us both and I wanna make sure it's right for us both." Jane was rambling, tripping over her own words.
"Jane, calm down and take a breath ok."
Jane did as Casey said, "Ok, well talking things over with Maura, I've decided I wanna make the most of those 99 days, talk to people, work things out." and almost as an afterthought she added, "and of course spend time with you."
"I'm glad you rate me so highly." Casey joked and Jane managed a forced chuckle. "Anyway I think thats a great idea, take all the time you need I'm easy. I have to be going now."
"So soon?"
"Yeah things to do, people to see." and with that Casey gives Jane a chaste kiss and is out the door.
After a minute Jane goes a sits on her couch still in a daze from Casey's whirlwind visit. Using the visit towards her as 99 days to know she thinks: Haven't his visits always been whirlwind, in for a few days then off again without a thought.
Now he's taken the step of 'asking' he doesn't feel the need for greeting/pleasantries?
He wasn't the first thing to spring to mind on my to do list, what does that say about us?
Then he says he's 'easy', what does that mean? I mean I'm greatful he's not pushing but a little effort wouldn't hurt, would it?
Mulling these things over Jane lifts Jo into her lap, stroking her behind her ears, "This is gonna be a long 99 days Jo!"
A/N Well I'm catching up on my days to go. There is not gonna be any case work in this just Jane working things out with those who love her *coughs Maura* I doubt any chapter will be that long just the snippets from the day that effect Jane's choice.
